The Broncos are discussing options on how to best proceed with their All Pro left tackle. The worst-case scenario of season-ending injured reserve is a possibility.
Placing Clady on IR with the designated to return is another option. Either way, Clady will miss significant time because of a Lisfranc injury in the arch of his left foot. Lisfranc sprains occur when a metatarsal bone is displaced from the tarsus. The more severe Lisfrancs can have a three- to four-month recovery period.
Again, the team is still getting medical opinions on the extent of Clady's injury.
Clady had signed a five-year, $52.5 million contract extension with the Broncos in mid-July. The deal included $15 million in salary and signing bonus this year.
It appeared Clady got his foot rolled up by a fallen player late in the Broncos' 41-23 victory Sunday against the New York Giants at MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. He hobbled badly out of the visiting locker room Sunday evening.
With Clady out, Chris Clark will be the Broncos' starting left tackle. The Broncos and Clark reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension Friday. He signed the deal Monday.
The Broncos' offense has scored 90 points through its first two games - both decisive wins. Quarterback Peyton Manning was not sacked by the Giants as Clady held off the likes of Jason Pierre-Paul, Mathias Kiwanuka and Justin Tuck.
